Tech Giants working together? In this economy?

Do you know how much market share they'd have to actually share with using standardized systems to share information? Blasphemy.

I mean, that's the point, right? The only way they can offer those "experiences" is to process your data. We need to get off the teat of convenience and learn to use the tools and want to put a little effort into things again. We've relied on them to just feed us the information in the way we want it for so long, we've forgotten how it got there originally. We can do it. It's okay to take 5 minutes and put that info into Calendar. Learn how to formulate the searches to get your information, and alternatives to make sure you've covered your bases. READ THE BOOK/BLOG/EMAIL YOUR DAMN SELF and write a summary in your own words.

Kinda lucky guess there.

The way I've seen it is that Solar Panels of quality can last for 10 years. Electric cars also need less maintenance like oil changes, mufflers, etc. So, the thought of having a system where you don't need to re-purchase or even talk to someone that would "fix" the thing for the better part of a decade is untenable. The same reason most things are going subscription service, even if one is not needed. They need to be constantly rolling in money, or they don't feel whole.
